You know ubiquitination, you may know ADP-ribosylation... But ubiquitination of ADP-ribose aka MARubylation???

Read our brief spotlight on @michaelnadbio.bsky.social and @jnpruneda.bsky.social 's recent work describing this dual modification here!

Mike Cohen @michaelnadbio.bsky.social · Apr 24

Thanks @kfeijszaja.bsky.social and team for the excellent Spotlight on our collaborative work with @jnpruneda.bsky.social: Modifying the modifiers: ubiquitination of ADP-ribosylation in human cells: Trends in Biochemical Sciences www.cell.com/trends/bioch...

Modifying the modifiers: ubiquitination of ADP-ribosylation in human cells

Ubiquitination and ADP-ribosylation are protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) which influence diverse protein properties. In vitro work has indicated that ubiquitin can be ADP-ribosylated an...

Happy to see our review out in ChemBioChem @chemistryeurope.bsky.social in which we describe the tools and strategies for deciphering linkage type-specific #ubiquitin signalling: doi.org/10.1002/cbic.... Thanks to Julian for spearheading this, and to Camilla and Dominik for important contributions.

Happy to see my Postdoc work out @natbiotech.nature.com. Using HaloTag and synthetic fluorophores instead of FPs enables us to shift the spectral properties of kinase activity reporters (KARs) to the far-red 🔬. Huge thanks to everyone involved @jinzhanglab.bsky.social!

Excited to share our latest work, now out in @lsajournal.org. we show that the E3 ligase HOIL-1 can ubiquitinate many different saccharides and describe a chemoenzymatic platform to generate ubiquitinated sugars as tools for studying non-proteinaceous ubiquitination.

The RBR E3 ligase HOIL-1 ubiquitinates Ser/Thr-residues and various disaccharides in vitro and can be used to generate ubiquitinated sugars as tools to study non-proteinaceous ubiquitination

How do cytosol-invading bacteria evade LPS ubiquitylation by the host's defence machinery?

@felixrandow.bsky.social's group determined that Shigella flexneri uses IpaH1.4 to degrade the LPS ligase RNF213, inhibiting the cell's ubiquitylation abilities.

Comparison of Salmonella and Shigella host cell invasion. Salmonella are targeted by the host E3 ligase RNF213, which ubiquitylates bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), marking bacteria for autophagic destruction. Shigella employs its effector proteins IpaH1.4 - an E3 ubiquitin ligase itself - to ubiquitylate RNF213, leading to its proteasomal degradation and thus preventing the host from tagging Shigella for destruction.
